Identifying risk factors for <em>Plasmodium </em>infection and anaemia in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (Publications)
risk factors for malaria infection in large cities in central Africa and in all age groups. There may be different associations with the risk factors for areas with different malaria transmission intensities [...] (non-rural), collected during a cross sectional malaria survey in 2011. Logistic regression with random effects was used to investigate predictors for malaria and anaemia. Differences in risk factors in areas [...] whereas it increased with malaria infection and reported fever. ITN use...

Global diversity and balancing selection of 23 leading <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>candidate vaccine antigens (Publications)
leading vaccine candidate antigens of P. falciparum using the MalariaGEN Pf3K (version 5.1) resource, comprising more than 2600 genomes from 15 malaria endemic countries. A stringent variant calling pipeline [...] genes encoding 23 leading and novel candidate malaria vaccine antigens including csp, trap, eba175, ama1, rh5, and CelTOS. Our analysis shows that current malaria vaccine formulations are based on rare haplotypes [...] Investigation of the diversity of malaria parasite antigens can...
